🎨 Impressions

• It's a comprehensive, actionable book covering the essentials of personal finance. I hated the book, though, and skimmed most of it, because the author was super rude, arrogant, and egotistical. The content was also very basic for me, and I don't think I learned anything new.

🥰 Who Would Like It?

• People looking to pick up the basics of personal finance (though I'd just recommend watching a 10-minute YouTube video)

☘️ Top Lessons

• Automating your finances can help you save money consistently and reduce financial stress

💬 Top Quotes
